I am a big cricket trivia buff. Are the rest of you. This is something we can do to occupy our time during matches.
The first is a simple one.
Name the bowler that nailed Bradman in his final Test match.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xOk Bobbie and Paddles. Who was Australia’s leading run-scorer in the 2013 Ashes series? That was in England. Isn't that the series when Ashton Agar got close to a ton? And Clarke, Watson and Smith all went big? It's got to be one of those 3. I think Clarke got at least one duck. That is the one. Holed out for 98. It is out of those three you mentioned Bobbie. I'm going with Watson, then. Clarke got the duck and Smith is too obvious. :p Yep the oft maligned Shane Watson. Now what a surprise that is. There you go. Often seen as simply a basher. Ok - which player internationally since 1970 has scored the most runs in a test series? If that’s too easy, when and where? Such a bad record, he took 6 tests to do it, and barely scored more runs than Gooch in 3 tests vs India... Was that in India? Any runs scored there should be worth double. Nah England in 1990 - Gooch scored a tripple and a second 100 in the one match, think it was the one Dev hit 4 6s in a row to avoid the follow on. It was the middle of Gooch's career peak. Nice work Mr Gooch. I have a photo of me with Gooch and Gatting from their 94/95 Ashes tour. Signed by Gatting, who kept wanting to make me cups of tea. Really. Ok a new one. A tuffie. Name the only man who has taken a hat-trick and made a half-century in an Ashes Test.
I'll have a crack: Monty Noble. Forget that one. Was William Bates (1883) Must be a Pom. Ok this is easier name the only post war cricketers to take an Ashes hat trick. There are three. Only one is a great. While we are pondering that, here is another one that I heard on the podcast Cricket Unfiltered. What are the worst bowling figures you can come up with? 0-250 is pretty shocking.
DC you took a look here but left no posts. Now our Test summer is done and dusted perhaps time to revive this thread. Why dont you come up with a real poser DC.
